Axis Gold Partner · New Berlin, WI
Commercial Security Systems in Milwaukee & New Berlin
Cameras, access control, video intercoms, alarms, and the network underneath them, engineered for your building by a locally owned team. Private systems you own, built with cybersecurity in mind from the first drawing.
Locally owned since 2010 · Axis Solution Gold Partner · NDAA-compliant equipment only
One integrated system, not a pile of separate vendors
A Milwaukee business security system usually grows one vendor at a time: a camera company, an alarm company, a locksmith for card readers, and IT for the network. Nobody owns the whole picture, and nothing talks to anything else. AdvaTech Security designs, installs, and supports every layer, so the door, the alarm, and the video tell one story when something happens.
Video surveillance
Axis network cameras recorded on AXIS Camera Station Edge (a PoE switch and an Axis microSD card in each camera, no server) or on an AXIS Camera Station Pro server for larger sites.
Business camera installation →
Access control
Axis door controllers and readers managed in AXIS Camera Station Secure Entry. Cards, fobs, PINs, and schedules, with video tied to every door event.
Access control systems →
Video intercoms
Axis and 2N door stations that ring your VoIP desk phones or Microsoft Teams, so staff see and talk to a visitor before they unlock.
Video intercom systems →
Intrusion alarms
DSC NEO alarm panels with the Alarm.com app for arming, alerts, and user codes, with 24/7 monitoring and dispatch available.
Intrusion and theft prevention →
Secure networks
Ubiquiti switching and Wi-Fi plus certified copper and fiber, segmented so cameras and door controllers stay off the guest network.
Structured cabling and networks →
Fire alarm
Commercial fire alarm design, installation, and service from the same local crew, kept on its own system.

Private, locally owned, and built for cybersecurity
Every camera, controller, and intercom is a computer on your network. We treat it that way.
- You own the system and the footage. Video stays on your cameras or your own server. No big-tech cloud subscription is required to see your own building.
- NDAA-compliant equipment only. Axis and 2N for video, doors, and intercoms. Ubiquiti for the network.
- Segmented networks. Security devices live on their own VLAN, apart from guest Wi-Fi and office PCs.
- Hardened from day one. Default passwords changed, unused services turned off, encrypted connections, and firmware kept current.
- Remote access limited to the people who maintain the system, through secured connections.
Ongoing patching and health checks are covered under our Remote Service Agreements.

- SupportUpdates, patches, remote support, and on-site service from New Berlin, with optional 24/7 monitoring.
Which video setup fits your building?
Both options use Axis cameras and keep video on equipment you own. The difference is scale and how much the system has to do.
| AXIS Camera Station Edge | AXIS Camera Station Pro | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Small and mid-size sites: offices, shops, single buildings | Larger buildings, campuses, multi-site, and integrated access control |
| Where video records | An Axis surveillance microSD card in each camera | A dedicated Axis Camera Station Pro server on site |
| What we install | Axis cameras on a PoE switch. No recording server to maintain | Axis cameras, the server, and storage sized for your retention |
| Access control | Video only | Built-in AXIS Camera Station Secure Entry for doors, readers, and cardholders |
| Viewing | Desktop and mobile apps | Desktop and mobile apps, video walls, and multiple operators |

Local systems, local references
New Berlin Plastics, the Cedarburg Police Department, the City of Mequon, and Christ Alone Lutheran School in Thiensville are Southeastern Wisconsin systems we designed and installed.
“We recently had AdvaTech install a surveillance system at our business, and we’re very pleased with the results. Chris and his staff were amazing to work with every step of the way.”

What to ask any Milwaukee security company
Use these questions to compare proposals, including ours.
Who owns the system and the video?
If you stop paying a subscription, can you still see your own footage? With us, yes.
Is the hardware NDAA compliant?
Ask for the brand of every camera and recorder. Ours are Axis and 2N.
Who installs it?
Our own technicians install and service what we design. We do not broker your job to a subcontractor.
How is it kept secure after install?
Firmware, patches, and passwords need an owner. Ours is a written service agreement.
Frequently asked questions
What does a commercial security system include?
Most Milwaukee businesses need some mix of video surveillance, access control on the doors that matter, an intrusion alarm, a video intercom at the main entrance, and a network that can carry it all. We design those pieces together so a door event, an alarm, and the camera footage line up in one place instead of four different apps.
How much does a commercial security system cost in Milwaukee?
It depends on the building: the number of doors, camera views, distance between closets, and what you already own. We do not publish package prices because we do not sell packages. After a free site assessment you get a written design and an itemized quote, so you can see what each part of the system costs.
Can you work with the cameras, cabling, or card readers we already have?
Often, yes. We survey what is installed, keep what still performs and can be secured, and tell you plainly what will hold the new system back. Existing HID-style cards and good cable runs frequently carry over.
Who owns the system and the video?
You do. We install private, customer-owned systems. Video records on your cameras or on your own Axis Camera Station Pro server, not in a big-tech cloud account, and you decide who has access.
Is the equipment NDAA compliant?
Yes. We only install NDAA-compliant equipment. Our camera, access control, and intercom lines are Axis and 2N, and our network gear is Ubiquiti.
Do you offer 24/7 monitoring?
Yes. Alarm monitoring with dispatch is available on systems we install and support, and the intrusion side runs on DSC NEO panels with the Alarm.com app.
Who services the system after it is installed?
The same New Berlin team that installed it. Remote Service Agreements cover software and firmware updates, security patches, server health checks, and remote support, with on-site service when a truck is actually needed.
What areas do you serve?
Milwaukee, New Berlin, and all of Waukesha County, plus Ozaukee County and the rest of Southeastern Wisconsin. Our office is at 2487 S Commerce Dr in New Berlin.
